My father had a 380 and it was the same as a 9mm short. Gotta be real accurate with that. Oops, the gun wasn't accurate either. The 380 ACP is wildly popular in the US, especially in pocket guns. They have their place but in a gunfight, I prefer you please pass my 45. The 9mm Luger cartridge, also known as the 9mm NATO, or 9mm parabellum round is similar to the 380 but hasa longer case and is much more powerful. The 9mm kurz (short) is a shorter version of the 9mm Luger. It is very popular with European police. "SAAMI catalog specs for the two cartridges rate the .380 at approximately 950 fps velocity and 200 foot-pounds (ft-lbs) energy for JHP bullets in the 90- to 100-grain weight range while the 9mm (which is offered in a much wider range of bullet weights and styles) is specced at 1150 fps and 340 ft-lbs energy with a 115-grain JHP bullet and 990 fps and 320 ft-lbs energy with heavier 147-grain JHP subsonic loads. In raw energy terms alone, then, the 9mm has about a 65 percent advantage."
